[-][FEATURE] Python on NuttX: Known Issues, "To-Do" list, and general enhancements[/-][+][FEATURE] Python on NuttX: known issues, "TO-DO" list, and general enhancements[/+]on Dec 9, 2024 Update: Python's socket module is now supported and Python on NuttX can run applications with POSIX-compatible sockets. Please check apache/nuttx#15457 and #2928 for examples.
Reacted by CeDeROM and Xiang XiaoHi, I prepared an article with the technical details of the implementation in my blog. You can check it at:

on Jan 31, 2025 Just submitted a new PR (#2982) that solves two issues on
TO-DO list:- Generate interpreters/python/Setup.local and interpreters/python/config.site dynamically according to the enabled configs. For instance: export ac_cv_func_pipe="yes" depends on CONFIG_PIPES being enabled.
- Create a wrapper application to automate the 1) mounting the ROMFS image with the Python's modules, 2) setting the environment variables and 3) running the Program/python.c app.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After #2879 was merged, it's time to make Python on NuttX fully usable!
This issue intends to discuss the next steps required to make it fully functional, including a "To-Do" list and any discussions on how it would evolve to support other architectures and platforms.
Initial Considerations
rv-virt(RISC-V QEMU). That being said, itsinterpreters/python/config.siteandinterpreters/python/Setup.localare somehow tied with the features enabled by theboards/risc-v/qemu-rv/rv-virt/configs/cpython/defconfig. Python for NuttX depends onCONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL!pyc(byte-code format) and are loaded from a ROMFS image at startup.PYTHONHOMEandPYTHON_BASIC_REPLneeds to be set accordingly.Describe the solution you'd like
TO-DO list:
This is the list of the next steps to make Python's port fully functional (sorted by highest priority):
